Opuntia polyacantha

...I think this is what the label says... It's the first time this is flowering for me.

Very nice Christian. Hoping for first flowers on my polyacantha this year too - I am about 70% sure all the 'buds' are not just new pads!

There are so many forms of polyacantha you can never be sure Christian.
A true Opuntia with spines and glochids on the flower stem nice.
